Hendersonville at Wilson Central on Friday postponed until Feb 1st

Freeman was the best player on the floor when I saw SC and Lebanon so I've got to go with Freeman as well.

2nd half of schedule opens up Friday (weather permitting). Lebanon at Mt Juliet is the game of the night. MJ seems to be getting hot and Lebanon hasn't looked as sharp since the SC loss. Could've easily dropped the Beech game last Friday. Anybody know why Lebanon PG Tay Jackson didn't play vs. Portland last night? They didn't really miss him against Portland but he wasn't dressed out. He didn't look to be injured sitting on the bench. Sick, discipline? They will need him at MJ for sure. I kind of think MJ gets this one on Friday.

Halfway point of district schedule: Station Camp 7-0 Lebanon 6-1 Beech 4-3 Mt. Juliet 4-3 Gallatin 3-4 Wilson Central 3-4 Hendersonville 1-6 Portland 0-7

i agree Lebanon didn't blow it at SC. Gave it their best shot just fell a little short on the road against a good team. The White Co game is the one Lebanon has to be kicking themselves over. White Co shot insanely well in the 3rd qtr but Lebanon can't give up an 18 pt halftime lead at home.

Station Camp over Lebanon by 5. Lebanon took their only lead 37-36 early in 3rd qtr. Bison respond with 14-0 run to go up 50-37. Lebanon battled back but couldn't get closer than 3 rest of the way. Both PG's played really well but Freeman balled out for SC. Look forward to return matchup at Lebanon. Elsewhere Beech wins at MJ 😦 Hendersonville hammers Portland Any word on Gallatin-WC?

Congrats to White Co. Everything I'd read about their shooting was spot on. 8 of 10 from three point range in 3rd qtr. What can I say? Great shooters. But shooting alone would not have won this game. I think the switch in defensive intensity the Warriors showed was every bit as impressive to me. I feel like Lebanon lost focus at the half and like somebody already said with shooting like that WC is never out of a game. Hope the Blue Devils remember this feeling but don't dwell on it as a very good unbeaten Station Camp awaits on Friday.

Lebanon: Start 2 Sr's, 2 Soph, and a junior Play about 7-8 guys per game Veteran Sr PG 4 of 5 starters can shoot the 3 pretty consistently Soph post player transferred in this year. Getting better every game. Bright future 13-1: loss to Wayne Co KY in Smokey Mtn Classic, best wins Mt Juliet, at FRA, at Wilson Central. White Co will be biggest test yet. White Co 3 pt shooting will test this teams ability to defend the perimeter. This hurt them in their Wayne Co loss. Must bring intensity for 32 minutes. Being at home will help but I don't think the new Lebanon gym is anywhere near as tough to play in as old school. Common opponents: Ooltewah (WC beat by 45 and 7; LHS beat by 14) Tullahoma (WC beat by 39; LHS beat by 31) I'll say WC hits enough threes and wins 68-62. Hope I'm wrong.

Bump

Lebanon beats Antioch 58-49. Lebanon trailed by 7 at half but turned up the defensive intensity in 3rd qtr. outscoring Antioch 18-4 to take a 40-33 lead into 4th. They host Shelbyville on Tuesday.

Which teams are opening up with Hall of Fame games this week? Lebanon hosts Antioch on Thursday.

Ravenwood is up 52-0 in the 2nd qtr

Great comments by all. Agree with every bit of it. Vicious cycle, you can't win without players but can't get players to come out until they see some winning. I wonder how long Harp will stick around?

Ravenwood BIG. Running clock most (if not all) of 2nd half.

WC by as much as they want. I don't think Lebanon has anything left in the tank this year. Don't see them winning anymore games and only competitive in the Antioch game. WC 42 LHS 7

Lebanon is a long way from competing in 3-6a. They're out of their league there. Student enrollment places them as one of 32 largest schools in the state but when you see the number of guys dressed out on Friday nights they look more like a 4a school. They've got a chance to sweep non region games if they win at Portland next week (they should). Then I think they have a chance at Antioch in a few weeks. 4-6 would be a nice step forward this year but let's get real, the Blue Devils are going to be looking at a bus ride down I 40 west the first Friday in November as long as they're part of 3-6a. JMO.

Does anybody know how Lebanon did in any scrimmages? Surely they will have enough to handle Warren Co. At home. If not they may be looking at a second straight 0-10. I'll say Lebanon 27-20.

Anybody know how Lebanon has looked so far? I believe they've had two scrimmages, Station Camp & Westmoreland, but haven't heard a thing.

Thanks!
